Before David Blaine and David Copperfield, there was one man whose name was synonymous with being the master of illusion and escape - Harry Houdini. It follows the man behind the magic as he finds fame, engages in espionage, battles spiritualists and encounters the greatest names of the era, from U.S. presidents to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Grigori Rasputin. The drama will chronicle the life of a man who can defy death through his stunts, his visions and his mastery of illusion.

loved it submitted by lawrencekl57 on June 18, 2015, 10:10pm I thought I knew Houdini's story, but learned a lot from this video. Plus, I unexpectedly got a game code!

harry houdini was pure magic submitted by Jackie77 on August 24, 2015, 10:55am Great acting bt Adrien Brody as Harry Houdini. This tells the story of his life from a young child starting his magic skills all the way through to the end of his life. Great cast, great wardrobes, and great props. Very well documented and put together story.
